Ok so I’m very interested in doing keto nutirtion coaching. I’m currently an electrician and despise it been looking for a way out for 12 years haha. But anyway I’ve been keto approximately 6 months lost a ton kf weight and feel great. I started getting interest in keto from other people so I made my wife’s dad a meal plan and he calls me daily to ask questions. So far he has lost 20lbs and doesnt need to nap anymore and his wife says he is night and day difference with energy. He also has chrones and we will see soon if that’s effected. Then a couple of his friends asked about it and they want meal plans, my mom and her friends want meal plans and I seem to come across about a stranger a week with interest in this.
So I started thinking there may be a need but people just dont knkw how to do it or how to begin. And when I think back to my start I studied for 2 years on low carb and finally started and this forum helped me TREME DOUSLY. Honestly would have quit without the support or advice and I asked alot of questions hah. Many people dont have the support in person. That leads me tk wanting to be a keto coach sinxe there us no nutritionist or doctor where I live who does this, I looked.
So here is my big question. I can take some coaching courses on udemy and even some keto courses, spend 500 dollars get a few certificates and then start a business and grow it. Or I can take a 8000 dollar year diploma nutrition course spend a year studying nutirtion that contradicts low carb and get an accredited diploma then start a business. Do you think the “prestige” of the accredited diploma is neccessary or would people still trust the advice of a well studied coach with various science, certificates and study?
Also I plan on partnering with fitness coaches, doctors butchers around the city to get more trust and resources but anyway wanted to knkw anyones thoughts on it.
